Murdoch's stores carry pellets from Trager, Green Mountain Grills, and other manufacturers; our selection is all natural and offers unsurpassed cooking quality. Pellet brands are interchangeable with pellet grills. Just be sure you're only buying pellets (becuase cooking wood chips or chunks are incompatible with pellet grills and can clog the auger). Pellets are available in all Murdoch's stores.
